About Arcis

Arcis takes tower-defense games to a new level. For the first time you will have the chance to not only build towers and design a defense system, but actively fight enemies as well. Taking control of the central tower, power goes into your hands. Can you fight off the enemy hordes in this innovative mix of tower-defense and arcade style?

Features:
• 3 Tower types with multiple upgrades
• Upgradable central tower
• Engaging and active gameplay
• Large board for multiple strategic decisions
• Music composed by Michael Betz
• Live graphics that react as you play

FAQ:
1) Why isn't there a touch to shoot mode?
Because of the draw walls/drag towers design, the game became extremely complicated with the introduction of a touch to shoot feature. This feature was tested and removed due to impact on game flow.

2) Why is it hard to shoot with the central tower?
Because the central tower is over five times as strong as a fully upgraded attack tower.

3) Why is the only game type survival mode?
Because a level based system is planned for later games. Arcis 2 concepts are planned, but there is no estimated release date.

4) Why can you only pause the game by locking the device?
Try the back button. Once pauses the game, twice returns to the main menu, three times closes the application.

Will open and play music but it opens to a black screen. Tried reinstalling a couple times, restarted phone, closed app and opened back up, but nothing works. Will change rating when issue is fixed, thank you.

Awful controls

Zoom in and out button.

For the most part, except that it keeps crashing right about when I'm trying to use the main tower. Sony Ericsson Xperia Play. Also it would be wicked if you could integrate the Xperia controller.

Great game once you get the hang of it. Only real complaint is when you die you're probably mashing the fire button, which shoots you right to the title screen and you can't see your score and what level you made it to.

R70%
by R####:

Great but needs some major but easy improvements. You need to stop taking gold when we accidentally make a weak wall its SUPER annoying and fruatraring especially when building a weapon. I also suggest that after every level up we get about 300-600gold? just a though. Will be keeping this but will be waiting for the updates till its fixed.

Y70%

Lots of fun. Would love to have multiple upgrades for the main tower and be able to resume a game even if I leave it. Cheers

A70%

The first game of its type. I think you need to make the menu button pause, not the power button. You should be able to leave and continue where you left off. Why not make a campaign mode, where the background changes, from grass to dirt to water and other stuff and people are spawned from different places throughout the game, for example, in the first level, they spawn from the bottom, second level, sides, etc. And I would like to change the controls... Menu button settings.. Keep games like this coming!

Z70%
by Z####:

A great and addicting game even for low end phones. And just a thought, it is hard to place walls and towers from a small screen can i suggest a pause option? Just to have time to place them. And keep up the good work ;)

D70%
by D####:

Controls are a little weird, though. A touch-based aim would be easier. But I don't know if this is the developer's intention to keep the controls this way.

I did not know how to upgrade the central tower! Its not clear in the tutorial.

Different way of doing tower defense games. Pretty cool although the controls could be more intuitive.

I like the concept, but I put forward another vote for touch based aim.

An ok game but with annoying and slow controls

G70%
by G####:

ho.. I revising my comment. Pefectly good. I just changed my tactics on building towers. Now i made huge score of 73,000+ and went upto 73 level in normal toughness. But a bit disappointing is, enemies are outnumbered at some stage. Instead of closing the game by forcing more enemies, you can provide us with a conqueror title. At some stage enemies need to surrender. And the hard game is hardest. Tough to play that

Amazingly fun and simple. Controls may be difficult at first but once you get used to it the game really picks up.
